Unable to find the Uninstall option for Figma plugins

So, when I open/install a Figma plugin file by clicking on the “Run” or “Try it out” button Figma doesn’t actually install the plugin but instead, it saves the plugin in my local storage?

I see there are two lists, “Recent Plugins” and “Plugins”.
The “Recent Plugins” should be saved in my local storage and I shouldn’t be able to uninstall plugins from that list as it makes sense.

What about the “Plugins” list? Shouldn’t I be able to uninstall plugins from there?

I understand the solution, but the persistent “Recent Plugins” section is still burdensome. Figma engineers are confusing the technical implications with how it should be presented to the end-user.

Plugins should work similarly to how one bookmarks a website, you either have it bookmarked or not. It should be that simple!

No, there is still no way to remove a previous used Plugin. Look at my example, I have “Page Organizer” loaded under my Plugins tab yet I do not have it saved. So how tf can I remove it from the drop-down menu?

Please read the thread from the beginning.
In short: Clear your browser/app’s Local Storage.

Thanks @tank666, incase anyone is wondering how to clear the app storage:

Yikes…

I can’t believe this is how this works now.

I don’t ever use plugins but thought I’d try one out today.

I was hit with a screen that said the plugin is in testing and to email the developer for a key. Why is that even allowed in the public repository?

I tried to “uninstall” it but since plugins aReN’t iNsTaLlEd anymore they just sit in my list as if I own and use them or something.

I think ‘uninstall’, ‘remove’, ‘stop running’, and every other destructive action regarding a plugin in the UI are synonymous to the end user in this context. We want it removed from our vision until we add it again.

There’s a psychological aspect at play here as well. When we hit “Run” the plugin seems associated with our file/account forever with no way to remove it, and now it will always be “running” or “taking up resources” because we can’t “stop” it - it’s certainly taking up visual space it doesn’t need to.

The issue isn’t how plugins work now, they seem way more modular and easy to use in a project which is great, but the presentation and management is so poorly thought out.

Figma please keep the Adobe engineers away from your product! XD

Absolutely agree… this is such a confounding, backwards user experience. Simply don’t add plugins I have tried out once (and probably hated) to the main menu for plugins with now way to clean them out except wiping my app preferences with a terminal command. That this is the official “solution” is simply wild.

Thank you for raising this issue. I, too, encounter the same experience. I really want to remove my unused plugins but can’t find anywhere how to remove it. Turns out everyone is experiencing this. I should not have to run terminal command just to delete plugins! 😩
